I put a set night drags on my 2000sg with the stock risers, it took some work ( relocate signals , throttle cable, shortes clutch cabe, made small 3/4 " spacer for risers, etc ) but to it was worth it ,like the looks and is comfy to ride with , arms and chest don't feel like a big sail catching wind.

Hello I have the same bike same year.I put 30" drag bars with 6" straight risers.Wanted pullback risers but could not get any over here in the UK.
Anyway the bike handles much better with them.And feels great.I too could not get on with the buckhorn's.

I think my 06 street bob handles better, butwhat do you think of the look? 29" wide with a 6" rise and a fat boy head light.

I have an 08 FXDC and have Nightrain bars with 5.5" pull back risors. Have 3k mi with them and love it. Depending on how long your arms are, I would look at the pullback risors. Im 5'11 and they are perfect.
